Horses snort to get horse snot on you. That distracts you while they come in for the kill.
Don't even talk to me about why they love low overhanging tree branches...

Cant believe we actually watched this...But even the worst of the shows back then were better than the popular crap on today. Junk like Modern Family and Big Bang Theory.

I think the dog sneeze is a sign of agreement.
Let’s go outside (sneeze), want a treat?(sneeze), want to go for a ride?(sneeze), should I hedge the market by buying some bonds? (sneeze)

Not really- the snort means “I feel awesome” and a stallion is trying to convey his status, not his weakness, so he’s going to snort to express how awesome and fit he is. But stallions in a territorial mood don’t just snort, they add a lot of other signals, too. He’s saying “get out of here” by pawing the ground. Done at the same time it means “Get out of here because I am awesome and I am going to bite and kick the s#!t out of you if you don’t.”
People grin because they feel good, but people who grin while cracking their knuckles, puffing their chests out, and putting their feet in a wide stance, etc., are sending a stronger message not unlike the stallion.

Not unexpected considering that people snort and laugh too. Snorting makes babies giggle.

Question is, do horses also fart more when they are happy because people do...

My Morgan stallion was overjoyed when he crushed me against the stall, stomped on my foot and bit me in the ass.

MY horses are always happiest when they make munching sounds. I have Italian horses. They believe food = love.
